Hi all,
Could anyone comment on what the recommended VPN-focused books are? Things I
hope to find:
- a book that one wants to keep as reference and go back to once in a while
(say, like Stevens' "TCP/IP Illustrated" or Carlisle & Lloyd's "Understading
PKI").
- a book that explains the technology but also the reasoning behind making
decisions in the VPN space. A volume academically describing the technology,
chapter after chapter, without linking it to the real world is not as good.
- a book that hopefully talks about the *problems* as well, not only about
things should work.
A quick search at Fatbrain & Amazon reveals the following books to be worth
considering. They are listed in no particular order.
VPN Applications Guide : Real Solutions for Enterprise Networks (ISBN:
0471371750)
Implementing Virtual Private Networks (ISBN: 007135185X)
Building & Managing Virtual Private Networks (ISBN: 0471295264)
Creating and Implementing Virtual Private Networks (ISBN: 1576104303)
Implementing IPSec : Making Security Work on VPNs Intranets and Extranets
(ISBN: 0471344672)
Virtual Private Networking: A View From the Trenches (ISBN: 0130203351)
Feedback on them (or others) would be appreciated.
Thank you very much,
